Surprising to see Youtuber PewDiePie (110M subscribers) publishing a video last night , "I installed Linux (so should you)" with a call to his community to join the platform, underlining the fun of customisation and DIY, in opposition to all the enshitification of Windows. His main point of friction for moving was Photoshop, and he explained how he made the effort to adapt GIMP to his needs. Always good to see initiatives like that shared to large audience.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pVI_smLgTY0

@davidrevoyGetting new people to Linux is good but pewdiepie is well known to have a part of his community being fascists, so that also means more fascists to come to the Linux world. Be careful on forums.

@loyhena Thank you for the information. I thought about this eventuality and I thought I was cautious by visiting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PewDiePie before posting, but quickly haven't found any "controversial" chapter and after quickly browsing, I thought the guy was more or less ok. My error. I probably should have read all the long page ( now I see it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PewDiePie#2017%E2%80%932018:_Media_controversies,_streaming,_and_formatted_shows ). A proof I don't know really the influencer except of being a "famous video game YouTuber". My bad!

@hermlon Yes, not just a video of "wow, I ran a Live ISO of Mint, and it's cool." but a video of someone who put hands in Hyprland customisation on Arch, and took time to already adapt his needs.

Btw, about the link I shared before, read also this https://fe.disroot.org/notice/AtV9EJPnlC4eyOxS1g if like me, you don't know PewDiePie. ( And also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PewDiePie#2017%E2%80%932018:_Media_controversies,_streaming,_and_formatted_shows ). 😔 Mea culpa for not doing my research before sharing.

@davidrevoy I was pleasantly surprised by this as well! And he seems to have truly taken the plunge, with Arch and all 😄 :arch:But man, that "unsubscribtion fee" from Adobe makes me see red... 😠 I've never seen anything more anti-consumer than that s**t, it has to be illegal.

@OctaviaConAmore Thank you for the suggestion. Yes, I thought about that. But then I thought maybe it's better to keep the video link to reference what we are talking about in this thread. My reply under directly will be also federated wherever this post goes, so the complement of info will be available and around too.

@davidrevoy There are some applications that are rather tricky to get workign on a Linux platform. The technos will know how to do it but the ordinary punters like me just do without. But - what I really like is being translated into the open source commons and all the other things that work on the basis of shared rather than locked-down knowledge.

@davidrevoy just my two cents, pewdiepie has changed alot since then and so has his fanbase. i'm sure him promoting linux will bring some heinous people into the community, just like any other time any community gets an influx of new people. that's just a fact of life.

@davidrevoy I think it's done in bad faith that 6 years after the incidents which Felix has properly addressed and condemned, that people are still trying to portray him as a bad person (unless something happened recently).bad apples exist everywhere, but I don't see how Felix is responsible for it. he has changed.

@jigmedatse Yes, I had no idea of who the character was and I'm never followed his content. Maybe I once saw something from the era of Flappy Bird, but that was probably more than 10 years ago. Got this one in my recommendation probably because I'm searching often the keyword Linux.I checked the video again this morning, 3 Millions view. Even if only 1% joins his call to action, that's suddenly 30K new GNU/Linux user. Impressive audience.

@davidrevoy Does the quality of the message of this particular video quoted depend on the moral conduct of the person enunciating it?If so, very few people could say good things. Could we therefore infer from the criticism of Stallman that his message is false, or immoral, or do we not accept his fans?Yet the GPL says precisely that you are free, even to use Linux to drive a bomb (...already done) or to advertise fascism (... already done).Not that I agree with it, at all.

@rickyx I understand, but it is an easy dilemma and all come down to: "should we praise the good actions of someone who did shitty stuff in the past (or continue to do it)."I'm on the team of 'yes', especially if the action has impact, well done, and I think this is one path to escape a polarisation/manichaeism effect. But still! Acknowledging and informing about what this person did for context, and sharing about it is also important. My first post was incomplete in this regard.

I quickly 'revised my copy' and added a reply to my post a couple of minutes after the rain of info about him. Well, let's hope this entry in the Linux world about the most rotten part of his audience will open for them a world of wonder, with showing them basic mechanism of 'living well together' like observing a code of conduct, cooperating, and sharing. 😆

@davidrevoy tbh Hyprland is actually really cool, the code from what i know is dogshit, the developer is dogshit, some of the design decisions being take are dogshit, but the end user result is astonishingly good to the point that it makes me sad that I can't morally justify using it given I know too much about how bad it is.Hyprland is by all metrics offering an incredibly polished, endlessly customizable, extremely high quality end user experience that has a gigantic community offering plugins for nearly everything a user might want to do and also has cemented itself as an incredible DE that allows it to have effectively first-party support from major distros.That last bit and the fact that all of the shitstirring is happening within internal channels, personal blogs etc allows Hyprland to keep marketing itself on the objective quality of the end result without users ever knowing that the dev is a fucking neonazi.I would wager the people who know are a miniscule percentage of the userbase, even including past users that stopped using it, the amount of people that left because one time some unique Steam games broke on Hyprland because of code that the maintainers refused to fix is by itself outweighing the amount of people who are aware of the maintainership's actual political alignment, regardless if they care or not.
